Bressay is an island on Shetland’s east side, a seven-minute ferry journey from Lerwick, Shetland’s capital town. Bressay’s easy access from Lerwick makes it an ideal choice for a day trip, but to enjoy its best walks, historic sites and stunning scenery will require a longer stay.
Bressay has fantastic natural resources, a great café, restaurant and Heritage Centre and is ideal for walking and cycling. Its lovely croft-dotted landscape has areas of interesting geology, wild bird, seal and otter populations, beaches and sites of historical interest.
